Freedom's cannot be taken for granted

Many liberals I know insist on categorizing everything as a Democrat or Republican viewpoint. Try to stop thinking about things as "Us versus Them" and "Democrats vs. Republicans" for a moment. The reality is that Obama is better at communicating a crappy plan than his opposition. It doesn't change the fact that it is a crappy plan. I really don't care who is in power, the sad truth is that the liberties our country's creators sought to protect are being taken away (because of "need"), and the checks and balances they instituted to prevent the loss of these liberties are slowly being removed (because of "need").

We are so spoiled to be living in this great country - the greatest on earth such that people of all nations seek to live here. So spoiled, that we take our liberties for granted. We assume that our freedoms are commodities, such that people have started to believe we don't need military supremacy to maintain them, such that we think our government can create without having to earn, such that we believe that having a job is a right and not a privilege.

I can assure you that the type of opportunity that allows you to be successful is not available in the vast majority of the world. If you start allowing the government to decide what is best for you, they will. You will no longer have the option to decide what type of success you wish to create for yourself - you will be told how you can best contribute.

We are headed in this direction friends - I just hope the masses realize what is going on before we vote to enslave ourselves to our government.
